2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport Problems

4 wh drive light flashes no apparent reason no issues makes the anti lock light come on and also the abs light worried cause a prob wit the brakes or something

Brake lines completely rusted through and I lost all brakes while heading to work, thankfully I was able to pull the emergency brake to slow down and I coasted through a red light blowing my horn so I was not hit. I bought this vehicle brand new with only 3 miles on it and ever since I initially got it , it began to rust. Clearly it was not rust treated as everything under the body and alot under the hood is rusted. There is even metal inside of the vehicle cabin that is rusted, like the gas cap lever. This vehicle should have been recalled many years ago like the Outlander due to all of the rust the vehicle gets under it causing thing to fail while its being driven. My vehicle just has a little over 100,000 miles on it and it now sits after that brake incident as I am afraid to drive it seeing all of the rust under it. Even the running boards are all rusted underneath. I am sure that everyone with this model vehicle has experienced the same problem but these vehicles are dangerous on the roads due to everything on them rusting .

THIS WEEK I HAVE HAD TWO OCCURRENCES WHERE THE HORN JUST STARTS BLARING AND WON'T STOP. ONCE WAS IN THE AFTERNOON, AND THE OTHER WAS AT 5:00 AM. MY ONLY DIY ALTERNATIVES ARE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY (OBVIOUSLY CAN'T USE THE VEHICLE), OR REMOVE THE FUSE (VERY UNSAFE). THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, NO WEATHER PROBLEMS, TEMPERATURE WAS MILD (AROUND 70 DEGREES). PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING, THE HORN RARELY WORKED AT ALL; AT LEAST NOT WHEN I WANTED IT TO WORK. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND IT APPEAR TO BE VERY WIDESPREAD ON THIS VEHICLE. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT, IT INVOLVES REMOVING THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, SO GETTING IT FIXED IS VERY COSTLY (OVER $1000). I EXPECT TO SPEND SOME MONEY ON A FEW ITEMS HERE & THERE ON A 16 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, BUT I DON'T EXPECT TO SPEND OVER $ 1000 ON A VEHICLE JUST TO MAKE THE HORN WORK RIGHT.

I HAVE A 01' MITSUBISHI MONTERO SPORT XLS 3.0L AS OF THE LAST WEEK IN MARCH I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY A/C AND CALL AUTO REPAIR SHOP TO MAKE A APPOINTMENT. TO MY SURPRISE THE MITSUBISHI/SATURN SHOP, THE PLACE THAT I HAD TAKEN IT TO 6MTHS TO A YEAR BE4, MY OXYGEN SENSOR TO BE REPLACED AND SOME OTHER THINGS, WAS GONE OUT OF BUSINESS. SO I CALL WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM, AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD GOTO A LICENSED MECHANIC SHOP TO GET MY A/C FIXED, OXYGEN SENSOR HAD DEFAULT AGAIN, BUT IT STILL HAD WARRANTY ON IT WITH THE PREVIOUSLY SHOP SO THE RECENT SHOP COULD NOT REPLACE IT AND I ALSO STILL HAD WARRANTY COVERAGE WITH THE CREDIT UNION THAT I PAY MONTHLY PAYMENTS TO. SO I CALLED THE WARRANTY GROUP, AND THE WARRANTY GROUP PAID FOR A/C TO BE FIXED AND I ONLY HAD TO PAY 100 DEDUCTIBLE. I RECEIVED MY SUV BACK ABOUT A WEEK LATER, THEN I NOTICED A KNOCKING WITHIN THE MOTOR SO I WENT BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP, AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A OIL CHANGE, BUT I JUST RECENTLY HAD A TUNE-UP AND OIL CHANGE. SO I KNEW THAT I DIDN'T NEED A OIL CHANGE. THE SHOP COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE KNOCKING NOISE, BUT ON 5- 23-10 MY SUV HAD MALFUNCTION THIS TIME MY CRANKSHAFT,PULLEY,RODS HAD SEPARATED AND THE ONLY THING THAT WAS HOLDING MY ENGINE TOGETHER WAS THE MAIN BOLT. SO I GOT IT TOWED BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND I HAD TO GET MY ENGINE REPLACED. THE WARRANTY GROUP PAID FOR THE PRE-USED ENGINE, AND I RECEIVED MY SUV BACK ON 6-11-10. I DID NOT DRIVE MY TRUCK NO MORE THEN TO MY HOME AND PARKED IT IN MY YARD, BUT ON THAT TUESDAY JUNE 15, 10 I WENT INTO A FURNITURE STORE FOR ABOUT 20 MINS. AND LEFT MY A/C ON, CAME BACK AND ONLY THE FAN WAS BLOWING, SO I CUT-OFF MY SUV AND WAITED FOR 5MINS. CUT MY SUV BACK ON AND DROVE BACK HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS.

I PURCHASED A 2001 MITSUBISHI MONTERO SPORT USED IN MARCH 2004, ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH A COMPLAINT OF A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. I HAVE PROPERLY MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE SINCE DAY ONE AND LEARNED TO LIVE WITH THE KNOCKING NOISE. ON OCT 23, 2005 THE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE KNOCKING NOISE BECAME EXCESSIVE SO I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED A MINUTE AND RESTARTED. AS I STARTED TO ACCELERATE THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCK AND SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. MITSUBISHI IS CLAIMING THE VEHICLE THREW A ROD DUE TO SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE. THE ARE SAYING THIS WAS DUE TO NEGLECT OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE OWNER, ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE NEVER ONCE ASKED ME FOR RECORDS OF MAINTENANCE, WHICH I HAVE. THEY THEN SAY IT WAS FROM NEGLECT OF THE PREVIOUS OWNER. IN A REPORT I RECEIVED FROM THE DEALERSHIP MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING THEY SAY "ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO OIL STARVATION". I HAVE RECORDS OF 5 OIL CHANGES IN 18 MONTHS. RIGHT NOW MY VEHICLE IS STILL INOPERABLE AND HAVE A DATE SET WITH THE NATIONAL CENTER OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION. HOPEFULLY MITSUBISHI WILL SUCK IT UP AND DO WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO DO UNDER WARRANTY. *JB

I DROVE MY FAMILY TO THEIR DOCTOR APP. AND WHEN I WAS PARKED GASOLINE WAS DRIPPING DOWN IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS REAR TIRE ONTO THE PAVEMENT UPON INSPECTION I SAW GASOLINE RUNNING OFF OF THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK I THEN WENT AND TOLD THE PARKING LOT ATTENDANT WHAT WAS HAPPENING HE THEN HAD TO BLOCKADE THAT AREA OF THE PARKING LOT OFF. I HAD CALL TO GET US A RIDE HOME . I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED HOME AND HAD A MECHANIC INSPECT IT AND HE FOUND THE STEEL GAS LINES WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED THRU ON THE PRESSURE SIDE AND THE RETURN LINE AS WELL UPON FURTHER INSPECTION HE FOUND SEVERE FRAME ROT AND SAID IT WON'T PASS INSPECTION WHEN IT COMES DUE NEXT TIME.

I PURCHASED A 2001 MITSUBISHI MONTERO SPORT FROM JACK TAYLOR ALEXANDRIA TOYOTA. ON SEPTEMBER 09, 2002, I EXPERIENCED TROUBLE WITH MY VEHICLE ON THE WAY BACK FROM OUR SOUTH CAROLINA VACATION. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT STARTED HESITATING, SMOKING HEAVILY AND THE A/T TEMP LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. UNFORTUNATELY, THE STATIONS SERVICE AREA WAS CLOSED, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO PURCHASE TRANSMISSION WE ADDED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AS RECOMMENDED AND LET THE CAR COOL DOWN. FINALLY, AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR THE VEHICLE STARTED UP, THE A/T TEMP LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE CAR WAS NO LONGER SMOKING. I CALLED THE REPRESENTATIVE BACK AND ADVISED HIM THAT THE TRUCK SEEMED TO BE FINE, THEREFORE WE WERE GOING TO TRY AND MAKE IT HOME. HE SUGGESTED THAT I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE CHECKED. I CONTACTED THE DARCARS DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND SPOKE TO A MR. WILLARD WHO SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY CAR. AFTER THE TECHNICIAN CHECKED THE VEHICLE, THE ONLY PROBLEM THEY COULD FIND WAS THAT THE CAR WAS 2 QUARTS OVERFILLED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID AND NO OTHER PROBLEMS. MILEAGE WAS 35346. ON OCTOBER 21, 2003, I HAD AN OIL CHANGE PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE AT JIFFY LUBE WHILE DRIVING HOME THE TRUCK STARTED TO HESITATE, MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING AND TICKING SOUND, THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED LOOSING ACCELERATION PRESSURE. I CALLED THE MANAGER MIKE AT JIFFY LUBE WHO SERVICED MY VEHICLE AND PERFORMED THE SERVICE, I TOLD HIM EXACTLY WHAT THE TRUCK WAS DOING AND HE STATED THAT HE COULD NOT TELL ME WHY IT WAS DOING THIS BUT THAT THE TRUCK SHOULD HAVE PLENTY OF OIL IN IT. MILEAGE WAS 56292.*AK

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THE RATTLING NOTED IN THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS NOTED. THE ALUMINUM BRACKET HOLDING THE COMPRESSOR WAS REPLACED WITH A CAST IRON BRACKET. WE HAVE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT COOL DOWN WHILE OPERATING THE AIR CONDITIONING NOW. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS TO BE TOLD IT IS COOLING. IT IS ALMOST AS THOUGH THE VENTS DO NOT OPEN TO ALLOW THE COOLED AIR TO FLOW IN. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED MITSUBISHI'S DIAMOND CARE SERVICE NUMBER TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP. THIS IS A LONG STANDING PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD SOMEONE CHECK THE SYSTEM OUTSIDE OF A MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP WHO AGREES THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM.*AK
